All right, hour two, wild breaking news day. LeBron and the Lakers' relationship is officially over. He will pursue other opportunities. The Lakers are moving on to acquire in free agency actual needs. Their need is not a 41-year-old. Their need is a rim protector. Their need is two more athletic wings, and they couldn't do it and sign LeBron James. We've been talking about this for months.
The franchise now is J.J. Redick, Luka, and for the time being, Austin Reeves. The Lakers got him for four years, not five, meaning after a year or two, they may move him if things don't pan out. And I would say this about LeBron James. When you bring Tom Brady to your organization in his 40s or LeBron out of his prime in his 30s, he more, both more than delivered. You got a title. LeBron made eight all-star teams, all NBA seven times, got a conference finals twice, was always available, had one year where he was a little dinged up. LeBron, let's not crap on him. Now, I do believe... Brady at the end could have still played for another two or three years. And I think LeBron's got two or three more years at a high level.
21-7 and six last year. Only four other guys in the NBA did it. But I will stand by what I said an hour ago. And I firmly believe this. And I keep repeating it because my audience comes in and out. Very few people listen to three straight hours. Is that the Lakers with a new ownership. I don't know if Jeannie Boss would have had the courage to do this. Smart, but I don't know if she'd have had the courage. They were clinging to a bygone era. The new ownership, they moved off Manny Machado. I mean, they have moved off all-star level batting title guys, Corey Bellinger guys. They've moved off them. The new owners did not want to sign LeBron, but they didn't because they knew they have to be in the Rich Paul business for 30 years.
